Um omg this is amazing news haha! I should have followed the mastodon updates more closely it seems, I had no idea we could do this now. Thanks so much for bringing that to my attention ๐Ÿ˜€

100% better migration options. I want to take my posts with me, I want people going to my old profile to redirect to my new profile. I feel like I've been stuck on my Mastodon instance, which is very small and is not tended to by the admins a lot, because of the lacking migration functionality.

I'm glad you learned early not to buy boxes then :D

You're right about the premium treatments and the pricing. I don't think the fact that 4 out of 10 tier decks are under 200 bucks will bring more people to standard though: if you're on a budget you look at the standard metagame and see that you can sleeve up mono red aggro for under 100$. But at the same time you see that you'll never be able to afford other tier decks like golgari or esper midrange, which are about 500$. If you don't have access to the option of creating the tier deck you want, only the tier deck you can afford, it creates a feeling of being locked out of (part of) the format, and creates resentment toward those that cร n afford a golgari midrange deck.

I agree! To continue the argument: DOS2 was, at the time, a big hit for Larian. Its one of the main reasons why they could expand the way they did. I think that the way Larian does development is not very conducive to creating DLC. If they do, I suspect it will only be released at the end of 2024 at the earliest.

If the way they supported their previous games is anything to go by, I wouldn't expect any DLC. there was no DLC for divinity original sin or D:OS 2. This is the game, if you want more of it you start a new run, maybe on tactician mode, with new builds.

I'm really happy with the interface to be honest, I was using Voyager up until now but Boost is my new go to!

Until they do something to make standard more affordable I don't think they'll succeed in this revitalisation. Either you print new standard challenger decks every year that actually contain all the game pieces needed for a Tier standard deck, or people will continue to play non rotating formats where the decks are as expensive as standard but will last them a lot more years than standard decks

I don't have to know anything about your political leanings to remark that you're bringing up a conservative talking point. Being left-leaning doesn't mean you automatically can't make conservative arguments?

Where does this idea come from? European agriculture is much more resilient to cold than it is to heat, as it has historically developed to withstand harsh winters.
